School

Have you ever driven faster than the speed limit or driven through a red traffic light? The answer is probably 'yes'. Every year thousands of motorists become 'offenders' - they break the rules of the road. But what are the punishments for this offence? In most countries drivers have to pay a fine, usually €50-€200. But in the USA, Australia and some European countries offenders also get points on their driving licence. After they get a certain number of points, they can't drive. Life is difficult when you can't drive so some states in the USA have introduced a new way

See Reference page 113

To avoid this - Traffic School. Offenders have a choice, they can get points on their licence or they can do a course at Traffic School.

Traffic Schools run 'driver improvement courses'. They cost about S80 and take eight hours. Motorists learn the rules of the road and they learn how to be better drivers. They don't have to take a driving test, but at the end of the course they have to pass a written examination.
